Actually, you would not be dead if you were in my novel right now. I am too much of a softy to kill people off in my books. How about you?

Can you read the writing in the concrete? It says I best I don’t love Jeannette. There’s a story there. What do you think it is?

Okay @bluesky #kidlit, what #mgfiction are you loving these days. Nothing to heartbreaking or gut wrenching. I’m look for a delightful lark of a read. Suggestions?

Hi there. I’m wondering what other folks are doing about Meta. Are you taking a wait and see approach or are you leaving the platform now. If you’re a #kidlit creative, I especially love to hear what you’re thinking.

Do what great #middlegrade books are you reading these days, folks. I just finished NOT NOTHING by Gayle Forman. Really excellent! A beautiful story of how we are more than our worst mistakes.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #BookSky #20books #kidlit #mglit #mgbookchat #nonfiction Day 5. (No one said the days need to be consecutive)
